Who is House of the Wyrm (HOW)?
House of the Wyrm (HOW) is a roleplay guild located in the Dunes of Arakis that sees the sandworms as their overlord and the god of death which gatekeeps the next life. They have named the worm "Arkthuul" (Ahk-thool). HOW has prayers often praying to the worms and hoping for ascension after consumption. These prayers entail talking to their deceased, saying omens to the worm and thanking the worm for the blessing of consumption. They will often sacrifice the bodies of their victims by placing thumpers to draw the worm to consume their victims and will always run towards battle to draw the worm out. When they get old, they will draw the worm to consume them as they see this as their only means to ascend. Every time they see the worm consume, they will usually be seen on their knees humming and worshipping their overlord. They strive to protect and worship the worm and those who please the worm are seen as successful members and are praised for their contribution. Members who have pleased the worm are often seen with tattoo markings and a special cloak. After people pass they believe the worm uses their remains as a blessing for those who live (spice) which they consume during ceremonies, before battle and whenever they feel the right moment is.

What is our goal and belief?
HOW believes that the only way to ascend is through consumption of the worm however before being consumed they must prove themself otherwise it is a sacrifice as opposed to being chosen. We believe that The Sandworms of Arakis will take us and make us whole, we believe that the worms are gods who take people to the afterlife acting as a god of death. We believe the only way to ascend is to be consumed after proving ourselves worthy of the blessing the worm will give us.
Arkthuul (the worm) - HOW sees Arkthuul as the god of death and the gatekeeper to the next life. Arkthuul believes that the only way one can pass onto the next life is to server a life making sacrifices and fighting battles in the name of their almighty god. At the end of their life they believe they must be consumed in order to pass on and believe failure to do so means being "being just an empty soul lost in a void unable to leave this life or pass onto the next stuck floating forever". Ahkthool is the only thing more important than themselves and they would sacrifice everything to fight for the worm.
Pressic (Spice) - Spice is seen as a mystical blessing passed on from ancestors or deceased ones believing that once someone passes on to the next life their body leaves behind a blessing for those who remain to help them in their deeds. Spice is believed to be a gift from the worm to show gratitude and respect to those who risk their lives for Arktuul. Spice is very oftenly consumed or inhaled during battle, exploration and also used for ceremonies.
Homelife - Those who don't partake in the battle can still be deemed worthy by looking after the rest of HOW in other ways. Those who don't fight still partake in other normal life tasks such as farming, nursing, maintaining water supplies, research, studying, science, mining or spice harvesting and many more normal life tasks. Those who serve HOW are seen as providers, family, lovers and are one of the key people for keeping HOW alive and healthy. HOW acknowledges ALL as equals making sure everyone is treated evenly the Patriarch and Matriarch even occasionally sacrificing something to look after their brothers, sisters and children regardless of their rank.

Guild Lore
House Of the Worm started when Patriarch Arkulis first met with the worm. It avoided killing him because he was on a rock, but he saw it as more of a sign as opposed to just luck there was a rock. He saw it as a sign that the worm was trying to communicate with him. He proceeded to get on his knees and praise the worm as it dove back into the sands and left. He began drawing and making multiple scribbles and over time became obsessed with the worm even giving it a name "Arkthuul". Over time Arkulis began finding others trying to spread his beliefs constantly trying to make sure everyone knew that The Sandworms were gods who would carry them to the afterlife. A following was formed to worship and praise the worms and spread the belief making sacrifices and doing everything to prove themself to Arkthuul.
